I always enjoy this movie. It's a romantic comedy disguised as a spy spoof. And even though it is a low-budget independent movie, I think it is well made.
And isn't Jordana Brewster beautiful in it?
I like how this movie plays with how the world (especially the D.E.B.S.) perceives Lucy Diamond and how she really is.

I think Jordana makes it really believable, that Lucy has fallen for Amy this fast.
Other good performances are Jill Ritchie as Janet, and Meagan Good as the badass Max.

Visitors of the Night, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Visitors of the Night
Movie Count:  24
TV Ep. Count:  12
Other Count:  4
Time Started:  6:45am

Plot:
Judith (Markie Post. There's Something About Mary) notices some very creepy things are happening around town. She and the town's sheriff make a chilling discovery, the town's teens are disappearing. When they recover they are suffering from amnesia. Judith is even more troubled when her daughter, Katie (Candace Cameron, Full House), is missing. When she returns and begins acting strangely, it becomes evident alien powers have taken over the town. Judith must stand up to her fears and rid the town of the aliens that have come to claim her daughter.

My Thoughts:
This is one of then movies I bought blind this month. From what I understand this is a TV Movie that I believe originally aired on Lifetime. I bought it not only because the plot sounded interesting... but I used to watch Markie Post in Night Court and Candace Cameron in Full House. Besides... the DVD was right cheap. While this really wasn't what I was expecting... I did enjoy this movie.


OK Everyone... I am very sad to say it looks like this is the end of my marathon. Real life gave me one hell of a smack in the face this month. I enjoyed what I could do... even though it was next to nothing. But hey... I will be around... and will be saying hi everyone!

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Lost



What's the show about?
Does anyone really know that? Officially it's about the survivors of a plane crash who are stranded on a very strange island that is inhabited by even stranger people and "things".

"Pilot"
Oceanic 815 from Sydney to Los Angeles gets way off course and then crashes on an island. The survivors try to get in contact with the rescue party and make theirselves as comfortable as possible until the rescue arrives...

My Opinion
It's a very interesting show, but I have given up to figure out what the island is about, or the Others. For me it's now a great character survey and as that it still works great.
